Bug 468277 - Solar: progress bar seems out of place

[Ray Strode]

Hi guys,

Plymouth recently got a bug report about the progress bar in the Solar 
boot plugin.  The styling of the progress bar doesn't really match the 
surrounding artwork.

Charlie mentioned on the bug report that this was to match the Nodoka 
theme.  I think it doesn't really work because progress bars in Nodoka 
are normally on a solid gray background surrounded by other on screen 
controls.

Do you guys think that you could do a more stylized one that fits in 
with the surrounding artwork?

Charlie had a prototype idea here:

what we have now is this:

>From a comment on the bug report, I think this thread may be a rehash of an old discussion, but I can't find it in the archives.
